Being a safe and considerate motorist is more than knowing the speed limit or how to make a legal&nbsp;left turn. Understanding all traffic laws, like how to share the road with emergency vehicles and who has the right-of-way, will help you avoid infractions and costly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/traffic\/traffic-tickets\/traffic-fines-punishment.html\">fines<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>On this page, you will find links to traffic laws and driving rules for the state of Wyoming, including:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Online vehicle codes of the Wyoming Department of Transportation<\/li>\r\n<li>Wyoming statutes on common traffic violations<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dot.state.wy.us\/files\/live\/sites\/wydot\/files\/shared\/Driver_Services\/Help%20Documents%20and%20Manuals\/2016%20Driver%20Manual%20for%20Web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wyoming Driver&#8217;s License Manuals<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wyoleg.gov\/statutes\/compress\/title31.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Title 31. Motor Vehicles<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Speeding in Wyoming<\/h2>\r\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dot.state.wy.us\/files\/live\/sites\/wydot\/files\/shared\/Traffic%20data\/2016%20Speed%20Limits%20booklet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">maximum speed<\/a>&nbsp;for interstate highways in Wyoming is 80 mph, but&nbsp;there is also a rule about driving too slowly. Driving in the far-left&nbsp;passing&nbsp;lane is illegal if you reduce speed or block traffic in your rear.<\/p>\r\n<p>Although no state law dictates a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-304\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">minimum speed limit<\/a>, you must drive fast enough to avoid affecting a reasonable traffic flow.<\/p>\r\n<p>Following too closely is not allowed. Drivers of any vehicle&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-210\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">must allow at least two seconds<\/a>&nbsp;of following distance for every 20 feet of vehicle length. In this situation, you are likely at fault if you rear-end a vehicle,&nbsp;even if you think that car travels too slowly.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wyoleg.gov\/2015\/bills\/HB0170.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Speed limits<\/a>&nbsp;for private roads, state highways, county roads, school zones, and urban areas differ. Pay attention to posted signs for variable speed limit zones and adjust your speed.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Driving Under the Influence<\/h2>\r\n<p>Wyoming has strict laws against&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/state\/wyoming-law\/what-are-the-wyoming-dui-laws.html\">driving under the influence<\/a>&nbsp;of alcohol or controlled substances. The legal limit is 0.08%.<\/p>\r\n<p>Wyoming has an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/state\/wyoming-law\/what-are-the-wyoming-dui-laws.html\">implied consent law<\/a>, meaning a police officer can request a breath, blood, or urine sample to test for drugs or alcohol. If you refuse a test, the officer will likely get a warrant to get a blood sample.<\/p>\r\n<p>If police have charged you with driving under the influence, you could face the following&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wyoleg.gov\/InterimCommittee\/2020\/01-2020051913-01TopicSummary-Judiciary-DUIStatutes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fines and consequences<\/a>&nbsp;for a first offense:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Driver&#8217;s license suspension of 90 days<\/li>\r\n<li>Up to six months imprisonment<\/li>\r\n<li>A fine of up to $750<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Fines and penalties for second and third offenses are even more severe. You may also have to pay an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-7-113\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">additional fee<\/a>&nbsp;to get your driver&#8217;s license reinstated after revocation.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What To Know When Driving in Wyoming<\/h2>\r\n<p>You may encounter some unique traffic laws when driving in Wyoming. Some rules to know include:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>Passing on the Left<\/b>: Wyoming allows drivers to go up to 10 mph over the speed limit when&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-203\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passing in the left lane<\/a>. This is not true of no-passing zones. Drivers must return to the right side of the roadway and resume a speed under the limit as soon as safely possible.<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Mobile Phone Usage<\/b>: Using your cell phone while driving to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-237.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">send, write, or read a text<\/a>&nbsp;is illegal, but you can use your phone in hands-free mode or while parked. An exception is when contacting emergency services. Violating this law can result in&nbsp;a misdemeanor charge with a fine of up to $75.<\/li>\r\n<li><b>School Buses<\/b>:&nbsp;Drivers from both directions must stop before overtaking any&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-507\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stopped school bus<\/a>&nbsp;with flashing red lights. Drivers can proceed when the school bus starts moving or turns off its red flashing lights.<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Pedestrians<\/b>: Pedestrians always have&nbsp;the right-of-way. Drivers must treat every corner and intersection as a crosswalk.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-602\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">It&#8217;s the law to stop for pedestrians<\/a>&nbsp;when traffic-control devices&nbsp;are not in place or in use.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Table of Wyoming Traffic Laws\u200b<\/h2>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Drinking and driving violations<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/wyoleg.gov\/InterimCommittee\/2020\/01-2020051913-01WYDOTDUIStatutesHandout.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Driving or having control of a vehicle while under the influence<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 5,<i>&nbsp;<\/i>Article 233)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Driving without a license \/ with a suspended license<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-7-106\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">License required<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 7, Article 106)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Driving without insurance \/ with insufficient insurance<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-9-405\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proof of financial responsibility<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 9, Article 4)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Driving without registration \/ with expired registration<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-2-213.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Registration<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 2, Article 2)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Illegal U-turn<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-215\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Limitations on turning around<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 5,<i>&nbsp;<\/i>Article 215)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Leaving the scene of an accident\/hit-and-run<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-1102\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accidents; duty to stop<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 5, Article 11)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Mechanical violations<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/wyoleg.gov\/statutes\/compress\/title31.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Equipment<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Chapter 5, Article 9)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Reckless driving<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-229.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reckless driving<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 5,<i>&nbsp;<\/i>Article 229)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Running a red light\/stop sign<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-402\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traffic-Control Devices<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 5, Article 4)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Seat belt\/child restraint violations<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-1303.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Child safety restraint<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 5, Article 13)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-1402.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safety belt usage<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 5, Article 14)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Speeding<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/wy\/title-31-motor-vehicles\/wy-st-sect-31-5-301\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Speed Regulations<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Ch. 5, Article 3)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p>Unlawful vehicle modifications<\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/wyoleg.gov\/statutes\/compress\/title31.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Equipment<\/a>&nbsp;(WY Statutes Title 31, Chapter 5, Article 9)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>Traffic Law Violations: Get Help Now<\/h2>\r\n<p>If the police gave you a moving violation for anything ranging from running a stop sign to making an illegal U-turn&nbsp;in Wyoming, speaking with an experienced&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lawyers.findlaw.com\/traffic-violations\/?fli=dcta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">traffic ticket attorney<\/a>&nbsp;is the best place to start.
